… in order to obtain Vice President Mike Pence’s permission to stand alone with him on debate stages.

Along with baptism and prayer, the ceremony apparently will involve temporary assumption of male elements/characteristics (wig, morning suit, beard, dildo), along with Harris’s pledge that she will lower her already low voice to “at least” baritone register.

Rumors have it that in line with Trump covid policy she was also asked to undergo anal disinfection, but the Harris camp has drawn the line at this.

Other details of upcoming debates are beginning to leak out. Pence is said to have doubled down on his insistence that suspended Liberty University president Jerry Falwell Jr moderate the first event. “Everyone deserves a second chance,” the vice president has reportedly said.

With all this Christian love for a president who makes all ordinary sinners look like amateurs, it’s no wonder that Falwell — the president of Liberty University, which was founded by his dad, the legendary Southern Baptist pastor and televangelist — thought it was no big deal to unbutton his pants a little. … [But] Falwell was asked to take an indefinite leave of absence from his job at Liberty University. …

[T]he American right no longer feels any need to justify their will to power with over-the-top moralizing. Dominance has become its own justification. 

So it’s not surprising that Falwell got a little lackadaisical about pretending to believe all that crap he’s been preaching about the virtues of sobriety and chastity. And more than a little dopey that the board of Liberty University is trying to act offended and going through the ritual of asking him to step aside.

Jerry died for their sins!

UD proposes as his replacement King Juan Carlos.

“No, [Jerry] Falwell isn’t facing anything like the academic equivalent of the death toll, economic ruin, and social upheaval that’s now occurring on [his buddy and role model] Trump’s watch, but beneath Liberty’s gleaming exterior, there are signs of trouble. 

In fact, if you’re an academic, you’ll recognize the significance of numbers like these. Here is the shocking decline in Liberty’s freshman applications.”

See how the Devil and the Demon Rum Deceive!

Oh Lord, our President Falwell

Doth really really ball well.

Thou madest his cock

To roll and to rock.

Amen! He hath answered thy Call well.

With everyone talking about Sonny Boy’s cock-on-a-yacht display, it’s time to remind you that the Trump-BFF president of Libertine University has long been a laughable hypocrite. (Only a few at Libertine seem to mind.) He got it from his daddy, whose valedictory Christopher Hitchens memorably provided in this famous clip.

As if one needed any more reasons to loathe Liberty U.

Another powerful rabbi shares not only his gift for science, but his love of Donald Trump.

[Shmuel] Kamenetsky said it doesn’t matter how the president talks. “That’s because he’s a gvir, a wealthy man,” he said. “Wealthy, powerful people have a way of speaking and acting that is not refined. That’s not a reason not to vote for him.”

… is a for-profit college (and if you read University Diaries, you know about those skeezy joints) whose founder – a Tennessee state senator – seems to have stolen gobs of federal grant money in order to pay for every stage of the beautiful cycle of life (wedding, honeymoon, divorce). In a heavily religious press event (no questions, please!), Robinson and her spokeswoman describe a martyr for whom we are asked to pray and pray and pray. Pray away the Hey did you really use $600,000 of taxpayer money to buy a Louis Vuitton handbag, a Jeep Renegade, a Jamaican vacation, and an end to your personal debt? Pray it away! Give God the burden!

Sing it with me.

Sinners!  Thou shalt die in sin.
Sound this warning out to all:
Praise hydroxychloroquin
Or thy servers all shall fall!

Tweet it with Immanuel:
Facebook, die!  In Jesus name.
Brother Trump shall tweet as well:
Let the deep state take the blame.

Three Israeli politicians call for the state to legitimize preemptive newbie strikes, and many other policies and points of view that are difficult to hold so long as the scurrilous irreligious in that country continue to “subjugate eternal Jewish law to the ratification of attorneys and the state attorney’s office.” Israel’s rabbis say many things that might seem hateful; but everything they say comes straight outa eternal Jewish law, which is ever so much better than whatever some … whaddaya call em? … state attorney (?) thinks.

Years ago, UD watched Theodore McCarrick, then Catholic Archbishop of Washington DC, preside over some fancy schmancy ecumenical event in a stately church in the city. She vividly recalls looking at the people around her, wondering how she could be the only one in the pews who perceived the patent smugness, arrogance, and insincerity of this man.

This, she remembers thinking, is one of the highest-ranking priests in the world??

Now everyone knows what UD sensed and so much more; but so prodigious a rapist of young men was the archbishop that new accounts and lawsuits keep emerging.

A 2019 lawsuit from James Grein claimed that he was abused by McCarrick for 20 years but nothing was done about it, even after he told Pope John Paul II during a visit to the Vatican.
